AROUND THE BLOCK:ONE CAN only imagine that trying to flog holiday homes in Turkey must be an uphill battle these days so we admire UK-based Spot Blue Overseas Property's novel approach to selling a luxury villa by having a poem written about it.
“It deserves more than just pictures so I commissioned a poem to it,” says the agent.
As you do.
The four-bed property that is the subject of this ode is a private villa that comes with views of Bodrum Castle and Bay and is asking £2,180,307 (€2,760,984).
Hilltop Heaven
For a holiday home which is second to none
With breathtaking views all around Bodrum Castle and Black Island off to one side
And Aegean Sea to surround.
There’s Halicarnassus Wall steeped in the past
Gumbet Beach and Greek islands as well
Bodrum Harbour’s not far, just a minute or two
Does this property not ring your bell?
The villa is big, with four bedrooms inside
And three of them bathrooms en suite
The kitchen is large and superbly well built
With all of your needs there to meet . . .”
It goes on . . . and on, and while Wordsworth it isn’t, is it any worse than the florid language we sometimes see in property brochures?
